The Misdeed
  • A problem has been fixed where the “The Best Attack” triumph, which grants you Oxygen SG3, was not counting the correct number of Light Spheres created in Strikes.
  • A problem has been fixed where some Primordials disappeared in Gambit-Prime.
  • A problem has been fixed where blockers did not appear in “Kell’s Grave” and “Cathedral of Sorrow”. Bungie will activate these maps again once the issue is resolved.
  • A problem has been fixed where some Gambit quests and bounties were not progressing correctly.
  • A problem has been fixed where it was mistakenly announced in Gambit that players’ particles were lost when they were defeated by an opposing invader.

Additionally, a future update, in hotfix 2.2.0.2, will fix an issue with powerful rewards. Currently, they allow for lower level increases than expected. Normally, the progress should slow down starting from 690, but currently, the slow progress is active from 650.

As soon as more patch notes are available, we will add them here.

Starting this evening, you can hunt for the Thorn. The quest steps are already known:
